Abstract

Rolling miniature model (1) moving on a ferromagnetic guiding track (7), such as a railway vehicle or a motor vehicle, provided with at least one permanent magnet (2) arranged under the miniature model and at a certain distance over the guiding track (7); the permanent magnet or magnets (2) are discretly arranged in/on the specific imitating parts of the vehicle which are situated under the miniature model (1), such as the accessories (5, 6) and/or the wheels (8) and/or the bogies, respectively the chassis, etc.; those magnets may also constitute the imitations. This measures greatly improve the adherence of the wheels (8) to the guiding circuit, respectively to the track (7), and this in the most discrete possible way, reduce the risk of derailment of the miniature model and eliminate the skidding of the wheels (8) on the tracks (7) when climbing.
